“The boy tells my daughter that she is a fat f*****g whale and didn’t deserve to live because she is so nasty that he wouldn’t even rape her,” Debbie Piscitella explained on Facebook.

When Piscitella and her 14-year-old daughter were shopping at a St. Petersburg mall on Monday, the pair spotted the girl’s alleged online tormentor, a teenage classmate.

Piscitella confronted the boy and put her hands around his neck, according to police. The boy’s name was not released.

Piscitella was arrested on a child abuse charge on Tuesday and was released on bail.

“I just snapped. I didn’t put both hands on his neck it was just one hand, yes I shouldn’t have done that, but you all do not even come close to understanding all the torment they have put my child through,” Piscitella wrote.
